All the upgrades are Tamiya on all three but customized the way I liked between the three, I am just not a fan of the adjustable upper arm set for TT-02 (Tamiya #54874). Here are upgrades I currently have installed on TT-02SR:

Nice, but out of curiosity: why all three? A fully modified R is the same as a fully modified RR (while the Type S, SR and SRX have the different suspension)?

What a nice family

Mine is not as nice but I started putting together static chassis (just enough to hold a body) for all the TT02 and TT01e bodies I haven't used because I cannot fathom destroying 8-10 hours of paint and decal work lol.

Are these the right parts for upgrades to a TT-02? Our rules allow shocksm universales, metal motor mount, bearings an screws.

Is there a better shock to go with? I think someone mentioned a 3racing shock. I might end up with a S6/4 so maybe that would be a better way.

Obviously there are some duplicates. Are the yeah racing pieces better than Tamiya? They're cheaper for sure.

Yeah racing tt02-015 Universals
Yeah racing tt02-017 universal cups
53792 Tamiya universals
54477 Universal cup joint

You need to add an S and the new SRX to the list and you’ll be complete

Honestly I just like building but also a couple of co-workers got TT-02 kits and wanted a brushed option to run with them in similar power output, but the Tamiya RZ is so fast it was not fair

And SRX on pre-order

All painted and decaled up to go racing this weekend. Still need to mount the mirror and trim the body posts.

Raman locally we run a class called Scale Spec. Indoor rules require ROAR 25.5 motors and you can use either VTA or USGT wheel/tires. Any scale body is currently accepted. I normally run a TA07, but the plan is to try out the TT02 just to see how far off pace it is. The heavy VTA wheel/tire combo, heavy Tamiya body, and possibly it being a TT02 chassis are all likely points against it being competitive. I built the TT02 chassis for GT Pro Spec, but I only have one TCS race I'm planning on attending, so I figured I'd get some use out of it for now Eventually it will go back to a 257mm wheelbase and likely have either a Ford GT or Mustang GT4 body adorning it.

OVA you're absolutely right. Scale appearance before all else! You think you'll find time to travel down to Yacolt to race with us one of these days?
